2 Claims.

My invention relates to a new and improved glove and a new and improved method of making the same.

One of the objects of my invention is to provide a glove having an ornamental edge portion.

Another object of my invention is to provide a glove having a scalloped edge portion.

Another object of my invention is to provide a simple and efiicient method of making a glove of this type.

Qther objects of my invention will be set forth in the following description and drawing which illustrates a preferred embodiment thereof, it being understood that the above statements of the objects of my invention is intended to generally explain the same without limiting it in any manner.

Fig. l is a plan view of a glove blank or trank, showing how the ornamental edge is formed while the blank is in the flat condition.

Fig. 2 is a sectional view on the line 22 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail view showing the stitch at the rear of the blank.

Fig. 4 is a diagrammatic view of the stitch which is employed.

The blank I is made of leather or other suitable material. The edge 2 of the blank I is inwardly turned and said inwardly turned edge is connected to the blank by means of adhesive 4, which may be of any suitable type.

After the inturned edge has been cemented or otherwise secured in position, a stitch 3 is formed, and this stitch inwardly draws the edge of the glove, so that said edge is divided into a number of convex portions.

Referring to Fig. 4, the thread T is passed through the blank and its inturned edge so as to provide single threads upon the face of the glove, and to provide loops having double threads at the rear side of the glove.

Likewise, the stitch is divided into sections, each said section having a relatively long thread section L which extends from the point 3a to the point 3b and then around the edge of the blank. Said thread section L makes a small angle with the vertical axis of the glove, said angle being less than 45 and being preferably about 30. The stitch which includes section L is then continued so as to form a plurality of short thread sections S. As the needle is passed through the edge of the blank, interlaced loops B are formed at the rear of the glove. Hence the stitch is a chain stitch.

1934, Serial No. 717,688

In the particular embodiment shown, each stitch section at the face of the glove has one long thread section L, and four short thread sections S, but these details can be varied.

As shown in Fig. 3, the long thread section L 5 passes around the edge of the blank and it is continued to form one of the loops B. These sections L are bight-sections, whose tension inwardly draws the material.

Since the thread is applied under suitable tension, the relatively long thread sections L inwardly draw the material of the glove at the points 3b, thus producing the desired ornamental shape.

Since the stitch is formed at the face of the glove by means of single thread sections, said thread sections impart an additional ornamental appearance to the glove.

The thread T can have the same color as the material of the glove, or contrasting colors may be used.

Even if the thread breaks, the inwardly turned edge of the glove is held in position by means of adhesive or other suitable means.

It would not be departing from the invention if the inwardly turned edge of the glove were stitched or secured in any suitable manner to the body of the glove.

Likewise, I prefer to form an inwardly turned edge, so as to have extra thickness at the edge of the glove, but the invention is not necessarily limited to this detail.

Likewise, the claims for the article of manufacture are not to be limited to any specific method of producing the same.

By means of the improved method, it is not necessary to use dies to cut the edge, in order to produce the desired ornamental appearance. That is, the ornamental edge is straight, and said edge is inwardly drawn at spaced points, in order to form the convex sections.

I have shown a preferred embodiment of my invention, but it is clear that numerous changes and omissions can be made without departing from its spirit.

I claim:

1. A glove having an inturned edge portion, said edge portion having a thread which forms chain-stitches in said edge portion, said chainstitches having inter-engaging loops which are located at the rear surface of said edge-portion, said chain-stitches being arranged in a succession of series, each series terminating at its ends in an end-stitch which is passed in bight-form I around the edge-portion of the glove and which 55 series, each series terminating at its ends in an end-stitch which is passed in bight-form around the edge-portion of the glove and which is continued into the next series, the stitches of each said series being continuous and.being located along lines which are inclined in each series in opposite directions to the edge of said edge portion, said edge-portion being drawn inwardly by said end thread-portions, said end-stitches being longer than the other stitches.
